Llwyd's original text:

YN HEBOG UWCH FELINDRE

Yn cylchu ac yn cylchu uwchlaw’r coed
yr hebog yn troelli yn nhrobwll
anweledig ei ehediad yng ngloywder
yr heulwen denau
ar fore o aeaf oer:
defod yntefig,
rhithmau symudiadau dawns
yr hebog, gylch ac ogylch,
ar linynnau ei orwelion ei hunan:
y dydd yn stond, a’i ddawns o dân
yn un â dawns y planedau oll,
yn un â dawns y bydysawd.

Mae pob calon lofr dan ei hofran
llydan, o dan ei droelliadau,
yn arswydo ac yn pwnio drwy sidan
y fynwes denau. O fewn estyniad
ei adenydd y mae’r byd yn ymdonni:
anifeiliaid, creaduriaid a dyn
yn ei lygaid yn chwyrlïo ogylch,
yn y dirfawr wag sydd yn agen
y llygaid, a phob enaid byw
wedi’i ddal gan symudiad y ddawns.

Uchod y mae’n troi ar ei echel,
a’i ehediad o gylch ei gyhydedd
ei hunan: ef yw’r crychiad yng nghanol
y llyn sy’n lledaenu’n donnau
o gwmpas
ergydlach carreg adlam.
Y mae’r cylch yn ehangu, yn ehangu wrth iddo hongian
gerfydd adenydd o dân,
ac wrth droelli y mae’n torri twll
enfawr yn y cyfanfyd,
 agor twll trwy gread Duw,
a thrwy’r agoriad fe syrth ein gwareiddiad yn grwn,
cwympo drwyddo i’w dranc.

English translation:

THE HAWK OVER FELINDRE

Wheeling and wheeling above the woods
the hawk spinning in the invisible
whirlpool of his flight in the thin
sunshine’s radiance
on a cold morning:
primeval rite,
the rhythmic movements of the hawk’s
dance, round and around,
on the line of his own horizons:
the day stock-still, and his fire-dance
one with the dance of all the planets,
one with the dance of the universe.

Every timorous heart beneath his wide
hovering, underneath his spirallings,
fills with terror and thumps through the silk
of the thin bosom. The world billows
within his wingspan:
animals, creatures and man
whirling about in his eyes,
in the vast vacancy that is the cleft
of his eyes, every living soul
held fast by the dance’s motion.

He turns overhead on his axle,
his flight-path around his own
equator: he is the ripple in the middle
of the lake, that spreads
in waves around
the dint of a skipped stone.
The circle widens, widens as he hangs
on wings of fire,
and as he spirals he cuts an enormous
hole in the cosmos,
opens a hole through God’s creation,
and through the gap our civilisation collapses,
falls through to its death.
